Synergy SYN-20IR

The SYN-20IR utilizes Synergy’s patented all-tube modular system, allowing you to quickly and easily swap preamp modules to endlessly expand your tonal palette. The SYN-20IR is the world’s most flexible, convenient, and tonally versatile all-tube amplifier head. The amp’s built-in vintage American-style clean channel coupled two additional channels from your favorite Synergy preamp module, makes the SYN-20IR a three-channel tonal beast ideal for every player, every style, and every situation.

Each all-tube, two-channel module is equipped with dual 12AX7s and features the exact preamp circuitry as the legendary amplifier it is based on. In most cases the SYNERGY module offers more features in comparison to the amp itself. The Synergy engineering team painstakingly works with each brand partner to design modules that achieve the most accurate tonal representation of their famous amplifier model.

MODULES BASED ON LEGENDARY AMP MODELS

Synergy offers an ever-growing list of all-tube modules based on legendary amp models which include everything from IIC+ crunch and AC-style chime to BMAN bloom and even Steve Vai’s signature leads. This allows the SYN-20IR to offer unparalleled versatility and tonal exploration.

NEXT-LEVEL POWER AMP CONTROL

The SYN-20IR offers unique controls for STRUCTURE and REACTANCE that tailor the response of the amp’s all-analog power section. The revolutionary STRUCTURE feature optimizes the head for any channel by offering three distinct power amp configurations and feedback which are assignable to each of the amp’s channels. The STRUTURE feature significantly alters the overall contour and feel of the SYN-20IR.

There are three Structure modes to choose from:

Mode A: Balanced negative feedback for a clear yet punchy sound

Mode B: Vintage style phase inverter with relaxed mids and a bright, shimmering high end.

Mode C: Modern HiFi style phase inverter and low negative feedback resistor delivers a modern, tight feel with solid lows and a darker high end.

REACTANCE is similar to a presence knob, but with a dynamic response and variable phase inverter which simultaneously shapes the middle and treble frequencies. This powerful control helps tailor the sound to your chosen module and Structure setting.
